How do we proceed when we wake up from the bad dream of everyday life into an even bigger nightmare, where everyone becomes a prisoner of the word, in the space of a small train compartment overlooking the landscape, which, however, cycles back in time to the original image of the train station, where the whole story begins?
Ako postupovať, keď sa zo zlého sna každodennosti prebudíme do ešte väčšej nočnej mory, kde sa všetci stávajú väzňami slova, v priestoroch malého vlakového kupé s výhľadom na krajinu, ktorá sa však časom cyklicky prinavracia k prvotnému obrazu vlakovej stanice, kde celý príbeh začína?
In times of personal despair, one reaches for various ways to mute, purify, or replace the pain experienced. There are many such ways. The genesis of such helpful practices goes perhaps as far back as Antiquity. The question is: what to choose?
Počas osobného zúfalstva človek siaha po rôznych spôsoboch, ktorými by stlmil, prečistil, či nahradil prežívanú bolesť. Existuje veľa spôsobov. Genéza takýchto nápomocných postupov má snáď rovnako bohatú historickú líniu ako antika. Otázkou je: čo si vybrať?

Sneezing. Coughing. Yawning. When does it start? The hall is dark, and the murmurs of the expectant crowd can be heard. Where to begin? What topic to choose first? Where to find the point of our existence. Is it here and now, or there and later? Right from the beginning of the performance, the audience can ponder the futility of the actions, words, and movements of the actors. To proceed without reflection.
Kýchnout si. Zakašlat. Zívnout. Kdy to začne? V sálu je tma, je slyšet šumění očekávajícího davu. Čím začít? Jaké téma si vybrat jako první? Kde hledat pointu v našem bytí? Je to tady a teď nebo tam a jindy? Hned od začátku inscenace divák může přemýšlet nad zbytečností činů, slov a pohybů, které tři mladé herce nutí jít dál. Pokračovat bez rozmyslu.
Not Found is an original production by three performers from the Dimitri Academy in Switzerland, which, in addition to the theme, also seeks answers to a number of questions. The summary of the production describes a state in which we long to know as many answers as possible, but the multitude of them overwhelms us and we get lost in new and new question-ending formulations. And that is exactly what the production is. It was created based on a single request that the students were given. Create the performance you want to create right now!
